<p>Energizing Indiana offers free home energy assessments to those who apply. An Energy Advisor will visit your home to perform the assessment. You&#39;ll receive step-by-step guidance; energy saving products, such as CFL bulbs, low-flow faucet aerators &amp; shower heads, and insulation for your water heater; and a comprehensive report detailing additional ways to make your home more energy efficient.</p>
<p><strong>This service is free, and the library Foundation will receive $25 for every energy assessment conducted through EVPL.</strong> Reduce your energy costs while helping our library Foundation!</p>
